Chocobo XP?

[RiversideGuy]

Been kinda noticing my Chocobo seems to not be getting any XP except in FATES (other than training in the stable)... have I missed something?

They need to eat the onion first then they can get experience again.

You also need to be killing enemies of comparable level to your own, which is why fate mobs would give exp since your level is also synced down.

[Stepjam]

Are you killing enemies around your current class's level? If you are level 80, lvl 50 enemies won't give your bird any experience.

Just went in to beat up some mobs and test it, and my chocobo had some EXP growth. Things are still working.

To be clear, the advice about eating the onion is only once your bird reaches level 10. Before then, it gets exp for kills that are near your level(and the bonus exp for challenge log). Once you hit 10 it stops getting experience at all(even in fates) and you need to feed it the onion to increase its maximum level so it can earn exp again.

Yes I knew about the onion…. did not about level sync for xp!

So Frizze we are same world and job, but how come the forum show my starter class and yours your job?

It shows my job... i think because i set it that way. Settings, edit character, and i had picked BLM(along with GSM and MIN) from the dropdown list of all the classes and jobs i had unlocked.
